Lock Keys

Famous quotes containing the words lock and/or keys:

    Time, which shows so vacant, indivisible, and divine in its coming, is slit and peddled into trifles and tatters. A door is to be painted, a lock to be repaired. I want wood, or oil, or meal, or salt; the house smokes, or I have a headache; then the tax; and an affair to be transacted with a man without heart or brains; and the stinging recollection of an injurious or very awkward word,—these eat up the hours.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Bless all useful objects,
    the spoons made of bone,
    the mattress I cook my dreams upon,
    the typewriter that is my church
    with an altar of keys always waiting.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
